New Biden official’s resurfaced tweets compare cops to ‘slave patrols,’ support ‘Free Palestine’

A new Biden administration official has addressed resurfaced social media posts that compared police to “slave patrols” and supported the anti-Israel movement — saying he wrote them when he was younger and they “do not reflect” his current views. Department of Interior worker Tyler Cherry’s incendiary tweets began to re-emerge shortly after he was promoted last week to join the White House communications team. Cherry, who spent three years working under Secretary of the Inferior Deb Haaland, wrote in 2015 amid the death of Freddie Gray, a black man who died in police custody, “Praying for #Baltimore, but praying even harder for an end to a capitalistic police state motivated by explicit and implicit racial biases.”
